I lovePlayscapes,I'm not sure where else I would have stumbled upon this rock climbing wall at a daycare center in Finland. As a avid rock climber (years and a few pounds ago), cartographer, and huge fan of functional arts and crafts, this combines all three and just blows me away. It makes me want to vist Vuokatti Finland - it's probably a cool place to host something like this.

The local skatepark advocacy crew is throwing a fundraiser to promote their vision of a high quality Skate Park in Pittsboro. Come on down to the General Store Cafe Saturday February 26 at 7:30 PM to support the cause or to hear some great music. There will be raffles, giveaways and a bunch of bands. All proceeds go to the skatepark fund. Ten bucks gets you in the door.

The Community House will once again host a free concert organized by the The Pittsboro Bach Society. The Pittsboro Parks Blog welcomes any association with highbrow cultural events (however tenuous the connection to parks). Sounds like a great concert and admission is free.

Parks are delightful places They have the sweet smells Of laughter, joy, and happiness The grass as green as anything Trees as big as mountains Oh, this place to be when you’re lonely, You get happy in a flash.

I haven't posted lately with the holidays and such; well also, I've been too busy drafting a comprehensive parks master plan for the Town, shepherding Southern Park toward the construction phase, and preparing a hefty grant application. At any rate, here are some winter pictures from Mary Hayes Barber Holmes Park to herald the new year. I got out a day or two too late to capture the majesty of the snow laden trees; but if anyone has snow photos of Pittsboro's parks or downtown, please send them my way.
